a. Using a simulation of 25 random numbers. Find average profits for order quantities of interest. Investigate in intervals of 500.
b. Repeat "the 25 times simulationn" a 100 times for the top three order quantities using a data table.
c. For the optimal order quantity(both a and b), find a 95% confidence interval for the expected profit.
d. print out a histogram for the best order quantity based on the 100 simulation. Comment on this histogram.
